A Detective Under Fire
By H. R. F. Keating
A Detective Under Fire sees Harriet Martens battle the press, the police, and prejudice as she fights corruption at the highest level.
Harriet Martens has been secretly summoned to London, to investigate corruption in a prestigious crime-fighting team: the Maximum Crimes Squad.
It’s far from plain sailing for Harriet. At every turn she faces opposition. Not only from the head of the Squad, but also from its mysterious target, the worldwide Colombian network. Then, as she approaches the truth, she comes under attack from the press.
The police chief who brought Harriet to London believes she can withstand the fire. But can she?
A cerebral police procedural, A Detective Under Fire is the third novel in a series but works perfectly as a stand-alone novel. It’s ideal for all who enjoy sophisticated crime novels, such as those by Alexander McCall Smith, as well as the author’s many fans.
